Vistra ran to $160.50 by the close, a gain of nearly 6% that added roughly $3 billion in market value to the power producer in a single day.
The stock held above $158.75 after its session high near $160.66, then recovered above $160 into the final minutes, a sign buyers kept control.
A move this size is not routine for a company valued at nearly $54 billion, and $160 becomes the key level at tomorrow's open.
Defending that level when the full market reopens determines whether this after-hours surge extends into a new leg higher.
